New Party Ideas Resource Now Online

I’m a firm believer that we can hear the same thing twenty times and not REALLY hear it.  But for whatever reason on the twenty-first time, it clicks, and we have that “ahh” moment. (Thank you Oprah.) Likewise, we can read book after book on the same topic without much breakthrough.  Then an author comes along who connects with us, things start making sense, and we begin to see things in a whole new way – a shift in our perception occurs.  Brilliant!

I can’t help but feel that everyone’s brain processes information differently.  So as a writer or speaker, if you don’t connect with everyone in your audience, it’s not personal.  You know, different strokes for different folks.  Diversity makes the world go round. You can’t be all things to all people.  I think these statements are true.  In fact, that’s why a little competition is good.

I’m not afraid of the competition because I think we all have a message to deliver and there’s plenty of “listening” to go around. To that end, it is my hope that people see www.YouCanPlanAParty.com as one of their valuable resources for party planning.  Hopefully their main resource of course, so that I can keep teaching people how to throw great parties, because that is really my goal — to connect with you and provide my information in a simple, easy-to-implement format. Hopefully my approach will work for most of you, but if not, there’s always the competition.
